Actress Courteney Cox said it felt ‘very natural’ to be back on the set of Scream 4.The 46-year-old star is reprising her role of Gale Weathers in the fourth Scream movie. It’s been 11 years since the third film was released and she said it was surprising how easy it was to make a return.She said to UK newspaper Daily Record: ‘It felt very natural [to be back on set]. First of all, I’ve had 10 more years’ experience of acting, so I was much more confident.

‘Also, I’m now a mum, so I’m a different person coming back.’

The actress split from her husband and Scream co-star David Arquette last year.

Asked what happened, she said: ‘I’m kind of all over the place, and I need grounding. I want to be calm. I want to change a lot. It’s nothing to do with David, it’s just what I’m searching for.’

Last week marked the end of Vulture’s exclusive series Cougar Town: Writers vs. Actors (please, no more tears. You’re stronger than that). As promised, however, the Cul-de-Sac crew still has one more bonus treat to help tide fans over until next week’s big return: Bill Lawrence is here to introduce two minutes of sneak-preview footage from the final episodes of the season. Click play to get your first whiff of (mild spoiler alert) Human Whac-A-Mole, the Morning Routine Song, Jules’s latest wine-delivery device, and the big season finale filmed on location in Hawaii. You’ll also find out just why it might pay to follow @TheLarmy on Twitter (as well as the Twitter addresses for a ton of on- and off-air CT talent.) And hey, when you’re done watching, don’t forget to set those DVRs for next week’s double dose of CT — Monday and Wednesday night at 9:30 p.m.

I’ve spent many a Wednesday night fantasizing about becoming an honorary member of a certain dysfunctional, boozy and all-around awesome cul-de-sac crew.
So when I sat down with Courteney Cox at the ‘Scream 4′ junket on behalf of our sister site, Moviefone — check out that chat here — I couldn’t resist slipping in a few ‘Cougar Town’ questions to quench fans’ thirst before the show returns from its distressingly long hiatus next week.

Cox was happy to confirm that Bobby (Brian Van Holt) and Laurie (Busy Philipps) are indeed going to start selling Penny Cans when the show returns on Monday, April 18. For fans who want to enjoy the authentic Penny Can experience from the comfort of their own cul-de-sac, it’s worth noting that the phone number that will appear on-screen in the episode is a working line that will connect them to a cast or crew member to take their order, so that you, too, can enjoy the world’s ultimate time-wasting activity (preferably with a penny in one hand and Big Carl in the other).

“It’s a really good business, I think — I mean, who doesn’t want a cleaned out paint can?” Cox deadpanned. “If you had to buy paint and put the paint someplace, you can’t just throw it down the sink, so I say buy a Penny Can; give back. I don’t actually know what’s going to happen to that money, but give back.”

Few sitcoms get to travel to exotic locations for the sake of filming, especially when a studio backlot will do, but following in the footsteps of their Wednesday night brethren, ‘Modern Family,’ Cox and co. did score a free trip to Hawaii in order to shoot the super-sized season finale.

“We go to Hawaii because …” Cox paused, considering whether or not to censor herself before she spilled the beans. “I mean, it’s not like ‘Scream’ where people care about the ending as much, but my son [Travis (Dan Byrd)] goes to Hawaii because he’s devastated — he’s heartbroken by his girl. So, I’m there to try to get him to get his life back on track, like, ‘don’t quit college.’ And at the same time, there’s a whole baby issue going on between me and my boyfriend, Grayson [Josh Hopkins]. So somebody wants kids, somebody doesn’t, it’s too much … You’ll have to figure it out. But it was great, it was really fun to go over there.”

It seems as though the television gods have smiled upon us after 10 weeks bereft of ‘Cougar Town,’ since next week’s return sees not just one but two episodes of the ABC sitcom — the first at 9.30PM ET on April 18, the second in its regular 9.30PM ET timeslot on Wed., April 20, when Cox’s Jules and Hopkins’ Grayson are roped into babysitting the oft-absent Stan for Ellie (Christa Miller), and Laurie hops back into the dating pool after her break-up with Smith, boasting a very unorthodox wingman in Andy (Ian Gomez).

What do you think Jules and Grayson’s baby drama will mean for our happy couple? Will you be ordering an official Penny Can? Don’t miss the return of ‘Cougar Town’ next Monday and Wednesday on ABC.

Opens: Friday 4/15

“I still got it!” Courteney Cox proclaims in this “screamake” of the popular ’90s slasher series. And she does! The sitcom star is the main attraction as Gale, aggressive ex-newswoman, bored wife of plodding sheriff Dewey (a comically sad-sack David Arquette) and bestselling chronicler of those gruesome Woodsboro massacres. On the anniversary of the slayings, victim turned self-help author Sidney (a sharp Neve Campbell) returns to the scene of the crime for a book signing.

She reunites with her cousin (Emma Roberts) — one of an entirely new generation of quick-witted potential targets. As nemesis Ghostface shishkebabs cops, teens and bystanders in rapid succession, Sidney must reboot her inner survivor and overcome her why-me-again self pity. The series was once considered cutting-edge: ironic about horror-movie conventions yet jump-in-your-seat scary. The only nod to the passage of time seems to be the addition of texts, tweets and webcams. But the entertaining Scream formula still works: When there’s a big shiny knife, the action never gets dull.

For the die-hard “Scream” fans out there, one of the many joys in watching the films for the first time is trying to figure out who the killer is. With the release of the fourth installment of the franchise just days away, rumors and speculation are running rampant across the interwebs.

To help you narrow down your list of potential killers, MTV News had the cast of “Scream 4″ make a case for why you won’t see their characters wielding any knives or wearing Ghostface masks come Friday.

“My character is not the killer, because she knows horror movies too well,” Hayden Panettiere said of her spunky, know-it-all character Kirby Reed. “She knows how they work, and she’s too terrified in that scene in the preview.”

“I can’t do it because O.J. already did it,” Anthony Anderson joked about his character, Deputy Perkins.

“Yeah. That would be racist,” added co-star Adam Brody. “You’re not going to have the black guy killing all the white people.”

“No,” Anderson agreed.

“And yeah, my guy is just kind of a dummy,” Brody said of Deputy Hoss. “I could be putting everyone on, but I don’t think I have enough screen time to totally be the killer, but maybe?”

David Arquette, who returns to the franchise as Dewey Riley went for a more cryptic approach.

“I’m not the killer, because I am the killer,” he said.

“My character’s not the killer because maybe she is,” Courteney Cox said of intrepid nosy reporter Gail Weathers, coincidentally echoing the same phrase as her onscreen husband.

“My character is not the killer because she’s Sydney Prescott,” said Neve Campbell, who returns to the franchise as the central character.

“My character Jill is not the killer because she’s Sydney’s cousin — hel-lo!” Emma Roberts argued.

And finally, Aimee Teegarden weighed in: “Why am I not the killer? I’m not the killer because I have great hair in the movie,” she said. “And if you have great hair, you don’t die — bottom line.”

So what do you think, “Scream” fans? Is one of them lying? Tell us in the comments!

Courteney Cox reprises her role as tabloid reporter Gale Weathers in Scream 4, out this Friday, but it’s a very different Gale than we’ve seen in the other films. “Her life is pretty dull and she wants some excitement,” says the Cougar Town star. “She’s been married to Dewey for like 10 years. She’s been writing books. She’s completely tapped out and going through a major dry spell. Sidney comes into town to promote her book.” And that’s basically when all hell breaks lose and folks start dyin’. EW talked to Cox about the movie’s difficult production, her memories of the original film, and the status of her relationship with husband David Arquette.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Do you remember reading the original Scream script for the first time?
COURTENEY COX: Oh yeah. I went after it! I wanted to play that part. I loved it. I thought the script was funny and scary, and the opening with Drew Barrymore was insane. I was such a huge fan.

Why did you want to do Scream 4?
I just enjoy doing all three of them. That’s where I met David. Each Scream represents a huge turning point in my life: I met David on 1. We did not like each other on 2. We got married right before on 3. And [Cox and Arquette's daughter] Coco was born right before 4. This series of movies means a lot to me. I loved Scream 1 so much and the thought of being able to do it again with the original cast, Wes Craven, Kevin Williamson, just bringing that back was really exciting to me.

How was the production of this one in comparison?
I would say the first Scream was the easiest production. This was par for the course for all the other Screams. It just seems like it’s just the way it goes when you make these Scream movies: the scripts aren’t ready, they’re difficult, the scripts aren’t ready, it’s ever changing. The only one I remember being real simple was the first one.

Probably because the script was done.
Yeah. I remember we socialized a lot [on the first film]. We actually had fun, we went out. I remember Wes hanging out and we used to go to this Italian restaurant in Santa Rosa. Wes wouldn’t have had a moment to have one bit of social life during this last film.

In the movie Dewey and Gale are going through marital issues and you and David were going through your own issues during production — was that awkward? Or cathartic?
I don’t think it was cathartic. The thing is David and I love each other so much and we get along so well.

You’re so affectionate with each other.
I love him so much. We are the closest of friends. I would say we’re probably better now than we were during that movie. The movie was just a little bit of a tough time. I don’t have the fondest memories of those particular moments during that film.

Does that make it hard to watch?
No, not at all. It’s not hard to watch because we’ve moved past that phase. Some times were really fun. Some times we had a ball there! But it definitely was the beginning of some issues.

Does that at all cloud the filming for you?
No. No. Because we did have a great time no matter what, but there were some awkward moments. I don’t remember us ever getting into a fight. It wasn’t like that.

You told me last summer that you bonded more with Neve Campbell on this film than any of these previous ones. Why is that?
I don’t know. For some reason, I just think maybe our lives are different now. We really had a great time. I did get to know her for the first time, and now she will forever be my friend and I feel very close with her. We’re getting older and the kids were much younger. Before she was the kids’ age and I was the older woman. Now I’m the much older woman and she’s more where I was.

What’s your relationship with Wes like?
I feel like Wes was very instrumental in David and I getting married. I feel Wes is like family. We even kind of argue like family. We’ve just known each other so long. It’s almost like I could have been his kid and now I’m grown up. I don’t think this was his easiest shoot either. It was intense. All the way around. But I think he did an amazing job.

Below you can view some red carpet videos of Courteney at the Scream 4 Premiere last night… photo coverage is on it’s way..

The fourth Scream arrives Friday, with a reliably meta script (the plot hinges on the characters’ knowledge of new slasher-film conventions, which include the recent trend of franchise reboots) and a few fresh horrors of its own. Still, despite the reunited cast and crew, it wasn’t all smooth sailing: Reports of behind-the-scenes squabbling escalated after screenwriter Kevin Williamson was replaced, as he had been on Scream 3, by Ehren Kruger. We asked Wes Craven, director of all four Screams, about that — and about how you keep a whodunit from being spoiled in the age of Twitter.

Does it worry you that so much of the essence of a Scream movie is that it’s a whodunnit, but now Twitter can spoil those secrets on the very first day of release?
It does bother me, but that’s the facts of life. I think it’s always been true of any whodunnit — it’s just that the information can spread so much more rapidly now.

The Scream 2 script actually leaked onto the Internet way back in the day, right?
We weren’t very far along in the process, but it was the very first pages Kevin sent us, the first 40 pages of the first draft of his script. They were terrific and we were celebrating, and then someone called up later that day and said, “They’re on the Internet.” And the only place they’d been was at his agency, so we figured it was someone in the Xerox room, that somebody decided it would be cool to put it on the Internet. It totally ruined that version of the script, frankly. We had to go back and change everything, and it set us back about two months. Kind of a pain in the neck, and thereafter, we had scripts with a big purple stripe down the middle that covered the dialogue so you could barely read it and if you Xeroxed it, it would turn out black.

Have you become more sanguine about spoilers since then? No pun intended.
Sanguine … that’s my job! [Laughs.] We do have a positive approach to it now. When I make appearances, I tell the fans that this is not cool, that it hurts the process. We also are very, very careful. For the first time on this movie, we did all the auditions without using actual pages from the script.

Because the casting sides leak on the Internet?
An actor could not get the role and say, “Screw them, I’m putting it on the Internet!” So [the actors] only read scenes from Scream 1, and then you had to extrapolate from that, “I think they can do this role.” But yeah, those are sort of significant dings in the process.

How satisfied were you with the franchise after making Scream 3?
I felt pretty good. I enjoyed Scream 3, even if a lot of critics said that they didn’t think it was as good as the other two. Part of that may have been Kevin’s availability, and part of that was that Neve wasn’t available to be in as much of it as normally. She really is the heart and soul of it, so that hurt it a bit. I did feel that it would be good to come back and do a real hard-hitting one that was serious and had the core characters in it.

You have made a lot of movies with not just these actors, but with these producers, and this writer. So why did the movie go through such behind-the-scenes turmoil? Why did Ehren Kruger replace Kevin Williamson, and why did you say that this wasn’t your movie?
Well, I never said that it wasn’t my movie — I said there was trouble with the writing process, and that’s just a fact. Certainly, I had an enormous amount of input into it, and didn’t do anything I didn’t want to do. For one reason or another, Bob [Weinstein] kept ultimate control of the script, and he had much more contact with Ehren Kruger, but then they’re close friends. By the time Ehren was writing, I was already kind of shooting. It was a difficult script to figure out, but Kevin was the one who laid out the master plan and all the characters and scenes, the beginning and almost all of the ending. What we had to figure out was the relationships of the characters, how Courteney and David would intermingle with the kids. That was the tricky thing. I also didn’t have Courteney for more than a month, so I had to figure out how to use all of her time in places where we didn’t even know what was going to happen yet, like in the ending. But you know, that’s not unusual for the Scream series, with the exception of the first one. There was always a process of working on the script all the way through the picture.

I know that Kevin Williamson was very, very unhappy when Ehren Kruger was brought in to write Scream 3. It can’t have been a happy thing for Kevin to get replaced again by Ehren on this movie.
I don’t think he was replaced. It came to a position where Kevin literally had to get back to his show, where he was legally bound to get back to his show.

There were rumors that Kevin was leaking word to the site Zap2It that he had been fired and that the actors were unhappy with the script changes.
I wasn’t privy to that at all. And I wouldn’t lie about that.

The Saw movies seem to be trending down at the same time as ghost stories like Paranormal Activity are coming back into vogue. You’ve been at this for a long time. Are certain types of horror movies cyclical?
Part of it is that when there’s a very successful horror movie, it’ll sort of launch a new wave. Since Paranormal Activity was so successful and cheap to make, there will be a lot more of those, and the Saw movies are sort of nearing the end after a tremendous run. I mean, how many limbs can you separate from somebody? [Laughs.] I think that ghost stories like Paranormal Activity are much, much safer for studios to make, because the problems with censorship are lower. People may die or dissolve into goo, but normally, there’s not a knife involved. But yeah, I think the horror genre’s very cyclical. There’s usually a brilliant idea, and then there’s a series of sequels that get farther and farther from the originality of the first one. When I made Nightmare on Elm Street, Bob Shaye said to me, “You know, Wes, there’s a formula for sequels: They should have a budget that’s two-thirds of the original, and then the next sequel should be two-thirds of that.”

Things have definitely changed since then!
No, it doesn’t work that way anymore. The nice thing about doing the Screams is that Bob [Weinstein] actually increased the budgets, so we always had really good casts and serious production values.

Did you see the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street?
No.

Was that by design?
Yeah, basically. Nobody called me, and I wouldn’t have wanted them to have. In a way, I think it’s appropriate that they did it on their own. When I sold the film to New Line, basically the deal was that they owned it forever, as opposed to Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes, where we found out after 30 years that our original contracts called for them to come back to us. I was like, “Really?” [Laughs.] We went into storage and dug up the old contracts and said, “My God, we own it again!” So that was a whole different thing because we were able to control the process of the remakes and had an interesting time with the young directors.

You mentioned the ratings board earlier. Did you run into any trouble getting an R for Scream 4?
No! I certainly didn’t pull any punches, and I did things that I thought would get us into trouble, like [a particularly bloody] death, for instance. And then I went to them, and we got an R without any contest. I think that’s the first time that’s ever happened to me. I can only think that after the Saw films and everything, ours suddenly seemed acceptable.
